The codec for the HDMI out on my Sony A7s and A7r2 is way better than the internal one. It's not the 4.2.0 vs 4.2.2 but the compression is way less destructive on ProRes than Sony's internal codec. You can shoot Slog and not worry about banding artefacts in skies. Also for editing in your NLE a codec like ProRes is way easier on your CPU and GPU than a cameras highly compressed codec.
I agree. I recently filmed a dance recital with two Sony A7R3s side by side. One was recording internally and the other was with my Shogun Flame. The ProRes files were huge but it saved my butt.
4:2:2 vs. 4:2:0 - is an external recorder beneficial ?
